Chapter 836: Opening the Ancestor's Temple Ceremony

ldiers from Panlong Nation made both sides shudder.Feng Ming, the general, frowned slightly, looking down at the battlefield. He directly ordered his lieutenant beside him:"Give them a good thrashing!...Wenjiacun opened the ancestral hall out of the blue, just to handle Wen Sandi. Even Wen Dalian was invited, after all, as the eldest daughter of the Wen family, she shouldered the responsibility after both elders passed away.

It was only now that Mother Wen realized what her younger brother had done. Originally, she and her third brother had conspired to marry Wen Zhaoming off. Once a married man is gone, he's no longer involved in the affairs of his family, and he wouldn't be able to take his younger sister with him. Even if the husband's family was willing, they wouldn't want to either.

This way, there's a chance to get both the house and land into her hands. Yue Yue is just a daughter, as long as she gets enough to eat, it doesn't matter how she grows up.

At least before Yueyue's marriage, the land and house belonged to her. She could also let her eldest daughter use the house for her marriage first. Although their current home was spacious enough, it was dilapidated and in need of repair. She didn't want to spend money on renovations, so she set her sights on the second room.

The result is that because the third brother did too well this time, it made it harder for him to make a move again.

The third brother just sold the little niece. You sold her, so at least don't let people see it. Otherwise, don't let her be found. Later, if someone accuses him, he can deny it and say it wasn't him. There's no evidence, and no one can do anything about it.

Unfortunately, not only did Wen Sandi's actions get exposed, but Ming Ge’er also brought people to chase after her and her child. Looking at the deed of sale with Wen Sandi's signature and fingerprints, even if she wanted to argue, she couldn't find a justification.

"Auntie Wen, you are the leader of your group. What do you say"

The village head asked in a low voice.

Wen Dajiao looked up at the village head and returned the deed of sale to Mingger. She let out a sigh and said:

"Village Head, you take care of this! I, as the eldest brother, really don't know what to say. My younger sister has been married for so many years and we haven't had much contact with the second family. I never expected him to do something like this."

He adopted an attitude of indifference, refusing to intervene or show any concern for what happened to others.

"Auntie, when they found Third Brother Wen, he was at your place. Did he not tell you himself about selling Yueyue"

The village head looked up and asked.

"I swear to heaven, my third brother didn't tell me about this. If I had known, could I have not stopped it Yueyue is my sister's flesh and blood!"

Then, Wen Dajiao immediately swore an oath.

"My third brother came to me saying he wanted to discuss Ming'er's marriage. I thought that Ming'er is already seventeen, and it's indeed time for him to find a partner. I know Ming'er is worried about Yueyue and wants to find a family in the village who is well-known and trustworthy for him to marry into. That's why you came to look for my third brother."

Auntie Wen's words were a bit exaggerated. At the time, the two of them discussed finding a family willing to offer a generous dowry and who lived far from Wenjia Village, so that Ming would be married off and wouldn't keep coming back every other day.

But in front of the village chief, he naturally couldn't say that.

"Auntie, I remember when your second daughter was gone, Brother Ming said he would take care of the only remaining heir of the second house and wait until Yueyue came of age before discussing marriage."

The village head raised his eyes and said coldly.

“Village head, here's the thing. At the time, I promised your second daughter to make her feel at ease, but Yueyue is so young. It will be many years before she's an adult.”

Wouldn't it be a pity if, watching Mingge grow old, all the good women are chosen by others, and Mingge can only find someone unsuitable

Auntie Wen's words were sincere after all. After all, when you get older, you don't need a dowry anymore.

Wen Zhaoming originally resembled the second sister in appearance. She was average-looking and somewhat stout, making her quite unattractive among men. While she was still young, she had some advantages and could potentially marry well. However, if she got older, she would truly become a burden.

Hearing this, the village head didn't refute. After all, they had their own considerations too. It's just that Yueyue was too young now, and after this incident, she became even more reliant on her brother, Ming'er. So, the village head said calmly:

"You're a good person, thinking of Ming'er. But your younger brother has a rather vicious mind."

"Oh!"

Now Widow Wen was only sighing and complaining, not saying much else.

Only then, after being dragged into the ancestral hall tied up, did San-di realize something was amiss. Especially when he saw his siblings, Wen Zhaoming and Wen Zhao Yue, he knew this time there was no arguing his way out.

"Village head, before the matter is settled, my third son wants to retire from his position as Third Brother of Wen."

An elderly woman with white hair and wrinkles all over her face stepped forward. She was the mother-in-law of Wen Sandi, who married her third daughter.

"Wahh!"

When the third brother, Wen, heard this, he immediately started struggling and cast pleading glances at his wife. Unfortunately, she didn't even look at him at this time, only lowering her head.

"Zhou Rain Mother, how could you say that"

"Our Zhou family doesn't have such a treacherous man. Children shouldn't have such a vicious father, who even sells his own niece for money now. I'm worried he'll harm my granddaughters!"

Zhou Rainmother said with great energy.

She and her husband had three daughters and one son. The youngest son was already married and moved out, now all three daughters are also married. They all live together and haven't divided the family property. If there really were such a venomous snake around, it would be truly frightening.

"Bah! You old viper, you only favor the eldest family. You ignore me and Zhou Sanniang. We want to split the family, but you're worried about face and say if we do, we'll be cast out!"

I don't want my children to be treated as beasts of burden by the first wife. I just want to save enough money to move out, but you control every copper coin in this house and would love for us all to go out naked. Driven to desperation, I came up with this idea about my niece.

"It was me who did it, and I admit to the punishment too. But you want to divorce me That's impossible! Aren't you trying to take advantage of my dowry You old shrew, don't even dream about it!"

Wen Sandi didn't know when he had spat out the rag stuffed in his mouth. He blurted everything out, exposing all of Lao Zhou's family secrets.

No sooner had his words fallen than Zhou Sānniang, who had been silent all along, stepped forward directly, knelt before the ancestral hall, kowtowed once and said:

"Village Chief, I won't abandon my third brother. This incident was his fault, but the reason lies with me. I haven't been able to provide him with a stable home, which led to this situation today. I am willing to leave Warm Village with my third brother!"

"You, you fiend! Do you want to drive me mad!" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Zhou Yuniang was so angry that she almost fainted. While not many people believed Wen Sandidi's words before, now that her own third daughter had spoken up, everyone around understood the reason behind Wen Sandidi's actions—it was all because of her! This revelation caused an immediate uproar.

On Wednesday, she turned around and knelt before her own mother, saying:

"Mother, my third brother was wrong, but he raised my daughter for me. He didn't just do it without any merit, but also with hardship. He didn't do this for himself, but for our family. Even if our daughter is unfilial, we can't abandon my third brother at this time!"

On Wednesday, when her mother finished speaking, she bowed deeply, clearly showing her strong determination.

Only Wen Zhaoming stood by, watching with cold eyes, even admiring Zhou Sanniang's methods. She made her own husband charge into battle while she commanded from behind, ultimately ending up with a good reputation. Truly a master. the one-armed man finished speaking, he got into a carriage, while the six of them got into another. Once the doors were closed, their faces showed a hint of relief.The ripples took the opportunity t...
